Mechanical Engineer

Role Overview

Roles and responsibilities:

• Develop mechanical system concepts, layouts, and equipment designs for CO2 electrolyzer systems, test stations, and associated process equipment
• Create 3D parts, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings using SolidWorks
• Interpret and contribute to PFDs and P&IDs, translating process requirements into mechanical system layouts and defining piping, tubing, equipment, and interface requirements
• Perform engineering calculations to support design decisions, component sizing, and evaluation of design options
• Design mechanical components and assemblies, including electrolyzer cell components, plates, manifolds, enclosures, brackets, panels, frames, supports, fixtures, and equipment skids
• Prepare manufacturing drawings with appropriate dimensions, tolerances, materials, and fabrication notes
• Design components for sheet metal work, machining, welding, 3D printing, and other relevant manufacturing processes
• Prepare and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), equipment specifications, and engineering documentation
• Support integration of pumps, valves, regulators, heat exchangers, tanks, piping, tubing, and other process equipment into test systems
• Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM), material selection, and reliability considerations to mechanical designs
• Coordinate with fabrication and machining vendors on manufacturability, component selection, and resolution of design or manufacturing issues
• Participate hands-on in prototype builds, fabrication, equipment assembly, installation, troubleshooting, testing, and commissioning
• Update designs with feedback and lessons learned from fabrication, assembly, and testing
• Work closely with the Electrical, Controls, and Process teams on equipment layout and system integration
• Maintain accurate CAD files, drawing revisions, BOMs, assembly documentation, and work instructions

Required Qualifications

• M.Tech / B.Tech / B.E in Mechanical Engineering or a related branch.
• Strong command of mechanical engineering fundamentals.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks for 3D part modelling, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings
• Ability to perform engineering design calculations and clearly justify design decisions
• Working knowledge of P&IDs, mechanical system layouts, tolerances, fits, fasteners, material selection, machining, welding, and sheet metal design
• Ability to prepare clear manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and engineering documentation
• Ability to learn quickly, take ownership of assigned activities, and work independently with minimal supervision
• Strong written and verbal communication, with technical documentation that allows colleagues to understand and verify design decisions
• Good problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Why join RenewCO2
